Clementson William Ford was a caller at Spooner | Wednesday. Postmaster Ole Clementson was at Baudette Thursday, transacting business. Al Hoelscher and wife drove to the Twin Cities Friday. Ed. Lund bought Ed. Farder's team this week, to use in his logging the remainder of the winter, All the young people of Clementson attended the Shadow social at the Han- son school house. They report a delight- ful time. Orheim The dance at Mrs. Henrickson's place last Saturday evening was well attended, and all report having had a good time. Andrew Halvorson is busy these days cutting fence posts, as he expects to do a lot of fencing on his land the coming spring. Christ Storm expects to leave next week for an extended trip to Big Stcne county, (this state), thence to North Dakota. He will probably be gone a year or two. Mr. Langlie, the cattle buyer from New- folden, was in these parts last week, buy- ing cattle, and succeeded in picking up an extra fine bunch, at rather low figures. This would indicate that the time has arrived when a little stronger competition amongst cattle buyers, in these parts, would be profitable to both the farmers and the cattle buyers. Several settlers arrived the early part of the winter and located in the northern part of Minnie township. We are pleased to note that a few at least from the out- side world have awakened to the fact that free land may still be had in this,the finest body of undeveloped land in the north- ‘west. Here is hoping that the coming summer will see a prosperous farmer on every quarter section now vacant. Cunningham. Feb. 14. Charles Parmeter has derived no benefit from his electric battery. E. 0. and W. J. Cunningham have just returned from a trip to Littlefork. Butter thirty-eight and “really fresh eggs” forty cents, in our markets. Logging on the Chas. Sumner place, done by the McGlautchlin Co., is finished. Lee Frederick will move his family to his claim before the roads break up in the spring. Axel Christianson from International Falls, spent Sunday and Monday with relatives here. Our hens get a pail of fresh water twice a day. We carry it quite hot, in a clean pail, and take eggs to pay for the trouble. Clarence Attix has finished his course at the Duluth Business College. and .is now at home, at Orth. The college has tendered him a position with a salary that sounds big. Money, from the Itasca County Agricul- tural Society, sufficient to defray expenses’ of transporting exhibits to the fair at|declamatory contest and atheletic doings of any importance with other schools. The yells, of which there are per- Grand Rapids last fall, has recently been received by this branch of the agricul- tural society, for which the organization feels very grateful. Interesting Horse Races. Local horsemen and lovers of a brush” between speedy nags were given some Sunday, when several races were held on the excitement new ice track on Lake Bemidji. A splendid track, extending for a mile straight-away, had been prepared on the ice, and quite a number of peo- ple were on hand to. witness the sport. William Robertson and Peter Dick brought some of their horses to the city, and it was expected that a race that would attract much attention would have been a match between Bessie Barolite, owned by Robinson & Dick, and Prince Hal owned by William Begsley. But Mr. Begsley stated that Prince was not in condition to race. Bessie Barolite won arace, King Benecia (owned by Robinson & Dick) being second twice and Capitola (owned by Thomas Newby) being second ouce. Lulu Blackford (owned by Ole Anderson) and “Dick” (the property of K. McIver) went two heats, Lulu coming in ahead nicely in both heats. -~ It is likely that some more races will be pulled off. A race between Bessie Barolite and Prince Hal is what local sports would like to see.

A defective chimney caused a fire this morning, at about 1 o’clock, which necessitated the turning in of an alarm and the turning out of the firemen and the new team. The horses which were recently pur- chased for the fire department made their first run and did most excellent work. The animals were driven by Garry Brennon and acted like veterans. The fire was at the Fuller house, on Mississippi avenue, between Ninth and Tenth. The fire caused a damage of about $100, but was extinguished before spreading to any great extent.

With a “nor’wester” blowing snow in every direction, and the weather anything but propitious, election day dawned with indications that candi- dates for office would be compelled to erert strenuous efforts to get the voters out andto the polls to vote. The normal vote of the city 1s 900, but the environments were such that there was every indica- tion that the vote would be light. Last year 732 votes were cast, which was a light vote for this city. Caundidates were abroad early today, and many rigs were pressed into service to get out the voters. It is hardly likely, under the con- ditions which prevailed today, that last year's vote would be equaled in numbers. Sale of delicious candies in con- nection with Ladies’ Aid supper on the evening of February 17th, at the Odd FellowsHall, Observed Lincoln’s Birthday. The anniversary of the birth of Lincoln was appropriately observed by the members of R. H. Carr Post, G. A. R, and Major Wilkinson Circle, yesterday, when a large num- ber of the members of both orders assembled at the G. A. R. hall and held a public nfeeting to which a number of the friends of both orders were invited. - The program was of excellent character, and among those who spoke briefly were Commander H. W. Bailey, who was personally ac- quainted with the matyred president; Comrades T. H. Pendergast, George Smith, T.J. Martin and Attorney M. J. Brown, the addresses all being very good. Dodge’s Sawmill Destroyed. Passengers who were aboard the south-bound M. & I. passenger train, this morning, state that when the train passed Spur 106, that there were indications that the sawmill and planer which was owned at that place by John Dodge, had been totally destroyed by fire, A heap of burning timber was all that could be noticed on the site of the mill. Particulars of the fire are unob- tainable at this time; but it is likely that the entire plant was destroyed. Moral, Insure with S. A Pa— quin & Co. Card of Thanks. To the friends who came to us in our hour of trouble, and contributed all that human kindness could sug- gest, to help and comfort, during the last hours of Mrs. Lappen, we re- turn most heartfelt thanks, more especially to the members of the altar society. May the day be far distant when those friends who gathered around us will need similar attention, but when the time comes may they receive the same full measure of generous aid and tender sympathy they brought to our home when death was an inmate there.

ARTHUR-J, BALFOUR. + Gonservative Leader to Aid in Passing Budget. WILL HELP TO PASS BUDGET Conservatives” Would End Chaos in British Finances. - London, Feb. 15—Fear of a parlia- mentary deadlock on the passage of the budget in the parliamentary ses- sion that began today were relieved by official assurances from -Arthur J. Balfour, one of the foremost figures in the Conservative party, to Premier As- quith that the Conservatives will help the Liberals to pass the Lloyd-George budget. X Balfour declares the Conservatives are as much opposed to the budget as ‘ever, but they are unwilling to assume responsibility for continuing the tie- up of the national finances, which were thrown into chaos when the budget was rejected last fall. BEER POPULAR IN JAPAN Beverage Rapidly Taking Place of Na- tive Drink. ‘Washington, Feb. 15.—Beer is appar- ently taking the place of sake as a drink among the Japanese, according to figures furnished the department of commerce and labor by E. G. Babbitt, American vice consul general at Yoko- hama. In Tokio the consumption of sake has decreased during the past ten years about 25 per cent. Beer, on the other hand, says Mr. Babbitt, the brewing of which in Japan dates back only twenty years, can be found throughout the empire and the output. of the breweries not only supplies home demands but leaves considerable quantities for export. T TR —— Cupid Cause of Vacancy. ‘Washington, Feb. 16.—A change secretaries is soon to mark Mrs. Taft’s wing of the White House.

TELLS OF LETTER TO TAFT Declares His Communication Intended to Convey to President That, in His Opinion, the Interior Department Was Not in “Safe Hands”—Two Hours Devoted to Correcting Amusing Er- rors iri Testimony. ‘Washington, Feb. 15.—Under cross- examination by counsel representing Secretary of the Interior Ballinger, L. R. Glavis, the star witness of the “prosecution” in the Ballinger-Pinchot inquiry, testified that in his communi- cation to President Taft he intended to intimate that in his opinion the in- terior department was not in “safe| hands” and that under the-administra- tion of Messrs. Ballinger and Denmett the interests of the nation were not being properly conserved. He intended no imputation of cor-|- ruptness; if he had he said he would have gone to the grand jury and not to the president with his representa- tions. The proceedings were delayed for over two hours in making corrections of errors in the record occasioned by Mr. Glavis’ peculiar lisping delivery. Some of the blunders in the taking of his testimony at previous hearings ‘were amusing. Ballinger's Attorneys Present. Attorneys Brandeis and Cotton, rep- resenting Glavis and occupying the position of prosecutors, were opposed by Attorneys Vertress and Rasch, rep: resenting Mr. Ballinger and others of the interior department. When' Glavis was recalled to the stand Mr. Bran- deis -announced there were some cor- rections to be made in the record of the witness’ testimony. Glavis thereupon proceeded to make the corrections. Most of the mistakes, it appeared, had been due to his drawl and lisp. His “r's” are always pro- nounced “w” so that in one place in the record his testimony read. “There is a parchment reef.” Glavis declared he said “there is approximately,” etc. ‘Where the record read “entirely coal,” Glavis is declared to have said “practically all” Where he referred to Francis J. Heney several times, the record spelled “Heinney.” It was afternoon when the last of the correc- tions had been made and Mr. Vertrees took up the cross-examination of the witness. .

According to the confession of Brels- the two men divided $13,700, drawn from the state treasury on vouchers for stock never delivered to the state printing department. Brelsford said that he received $5, 000 for his share and Slater made a “clean up” of the remainder. GERMAN RIOTING _SERIOUS Socialists Protest Against Pending Suffrage Bill.

Sir John Bigham, president of the pro- bate court, condemned the petitioner to pay the costs, which must have been very heavy.. TWO SCORE PERSONS INJURED IN GRASH Three Bobsleds in Collision at $t.

Griscom, former ambassador to Italy and present head of the New York county Republican committee, prominent New York Ital- fans have banded themselves together to help in the fight against tubercu- losis in this city.
